Built by heart, fueled by stories and run by soul, Dolphin Quest is a family jungle project in the Golfo Dulce region of Costa Rica that combines holistic healing, wellness education, ecological sustainability, and immersive, unfiltered adventures to empower people in their spiritual growth.
Run by Reymar, Jahza and the incredible Dolphin Quest family, our dream has always been to craft an experience that amplifies the healing powers of nature for everyone who steps foot on our shores. To date, we are humbled to say that we have made it a reality for hundreds of people who we now have the privilege to call close friends.
The Dolphin Quest project is a continuing work-in-progress, and while people often remark about the magic of the experience, the reality is that enormous amounts of resources and oftentimes superhuman-like effort is needed to keep our dream alive.
The recent years have taught much of humanity several lessons for the future as more people around the world are beginning to recognize the tremendous value of sustainable living and development, inner wellness, and mindful consumption - all core tenets of the Dolphin Quest mission. Similarly, we are at a pivotal point in our journey. While battling the brunt of 2020, we have in the process built a stronger and more resilient team which is ever so invigorated by the new ideas in our pipeline, but severely strained and challenged by a lack of resources. We need your support to help us keep our momentum.
By donating, you will directly help us cover recurring operational costs, critical property maintenance and staff wages which are crucial to supporting our local community and economy. But perhaps more importantly, you will be pledging your hope and confidence in the Dolphin Quest mission. Anyone who believes in this dream and appreciates our work can help us dream bigger.
